Unfortunately I had a very disappointing experience. After ordering and paying for my poke bowl I was told that there was no salmon and they don't ever have tuna. The other toppings were minimal and the sauce was basically mayo. The excuse was that they were going to be closing soon, but it was 6:15 and they were open until 7pm. I couldn't even eat it because it was essentially just white rice with mayo on it.

I went there twice when I was visiting a friend because it's down the street from his house. I had the mango milkshake and my daughter has the boba tea. we both thought it was pretty good. Although it was convenient for us, the location is a little rough. I'll probably go back there next time I'm in town.

Very good boba tea and smoothies for a surprisingly good price. Was served by a nice young woman named Zoe who was very helpful in suggestions/recommendations. Would recommend!

Asked for one sauce. Was given soup. Rice overcooked, microwaved edamame, and sketchy looking fish. Would not recommend.

I really wanted to get boba on Sunday morning before a road trip. I showed up at 10:55 and sat in the parking lot and waited for a place to open. At 11:10 it still wasn't open. I called and got no answer. So I went to Chatime instead. Not sure what happened here. Not sure it's worth trying again.

I ordered a passion tea boba with popping boba and a peach slush with popping boba. What I got was a brown sugar milk tea with passion tea in it and tapioca pearls and popping boba. The milk was separating and curdling, I didn’t even want to try it because it looked disgusting. The peach slush also had the brown sugar drizzle in it. It was such a waste of $14. I couldn’t tell if the worker was trained incorrectly or genuinely incompetent but the worker very clearly knew they did something wrong when they saw the look on my face when I saw the drinks. My friend’s orders were the same. The area where they make the drinks is blocked off with a white plastic tarp and the store stinks of bad seafood as well. Which were red flags I shouldn’t have ignored. Save yourself the bad experience, and just go to chai time.

A hidden gem of Nanaimo. There are a few tables to stay in and eat. We had amazing service. A delicious poke bowl and the smoothie and bubble tea were fresh and tasty. This will be our go to poke and boba!

Kept being called sir aggressively even when I corrected them to ma'am. I had to wait 15 minutes for her to make rice since she didn't have it ready (or due to the rice being unplugged she had to make new rice. Not sure). It wasn't the first time we've been here, great manager and she's usually there when we come for a bowl and boba tea but the new girl was pretty rude to us. Food is good as usual just bad customer service today.

Haven't tried the food yet, but I've been here several times already for bubble tea. Good quality and good price! They're liberal with the tapioca. Glad to have a shop in Harewood.

Ordered via Skip so I have no idea what the actual restaurant is like.Pretty standard for a takeout Poke place but im a bit disappointed with the protein portions as I paid extra for another protien and it doesn't really seem like anything was added. Also wish I could order multiple sauces via Skip.Not bad though.
